As I'm thoroughly enjoying the case of sausage I bought from work, patties, pre-cooked and ready to go, I was wondering if anyone else buys in bulk? And what products? I also have a case of hard boiled, shelled eggs coming!!

I buy the big vacuum-sealed packages of meat (rib eye, beef tenderloin -- aka filet minon, pork, etc) that you have to cut up yourself. I can buy rib-eye for $5.99 that way when it's selling for $10.99 at the grocery. (Have also gotten some really nice and tender top sirloin for $2.99/lb, which is what's usually charged for ground beef, around here!)

I picked up 40 lbs of bacon in bulk, several months back. Recently got 40 lbs of catfish... have some sausage, and 80 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts coming my way soon!

I used to buy my eggs by the case (15 doz -- like used in food-industry) before we moved. Now I can only find half-cases (7 doz), which is fine, because my fridge is smaller and I wouldn't have room for the whole case.

Generally speaking, if I can find it in bulk, I'll buy it that way... And am generally pretty darned pleased with my savings! I also love having a freezer full of meat. Particularly when a paycheck is going to be tight for some reason, I take a perverse pleasure in saying, "Well, I guess we'll just have to eat Rib Eye this week." Oh, woe is us.

I do too. I buy hamburger from Zaycon foods, 40 pounds in 4 10 pound packs. I eat a lot of burger and this is the best. Practically no fat or water in it. I add either bacon fat or chopped pepperoni to it to give it some fat.

I also buy meat from Costco, steaks, ribs and roasts.

My dad raises Black Angus and he's raising a calf for me that I'll have butchered next year. I'm only going to keep 1/4 of it, that will be about 125 pounds of meat.

Click the subscribe and you should see what's offered in your area, where the locations, and when the pickup hours are. The ground beef event happens about every 4 months as well as the chicken event. It works out great if you can get someone else to go in with you.

I've been using Zaycon, too. That's where I got my bacon & catfish, and where I have my chicken coming from.

I missed one pickup (ground beef ) I was really upset, because I wanted the meat. But when I contacted them, they simply credited my account for the full amount.

You can also get 'credits' if you refer someone who places an order... $1 goes to your account for each order they place.

The boneless, skinless chicken I'm getting? $1.79/lb.

And a few things they've had HERE recently have included fully-cooked buffalo wings, and smoked-salmon (much smaller quantity, and delivered FedEx to the door). (I got the salmon, but not the wings... That was just BEFORE my wings-fixation.~chuckles~)
